Logitech never ceases to amaze me. Ever since the First Wheel Mouse I've been hooked. I'm particularly big on ergonomics (which explains why I still use my grimy hand-salsa'd finger-polished Microsoft Elite keyboard) so when I saw one of my classmates using an MX510 I knew I had to get one. Just to be like the cool kids. Of course he had a Mac, but that's forgivable. The point is, after years of using random Logitech products I've yet to be let down. A few months ago I got to test drive the MX310 and have been using it non-stop until now.
Along the top middle is the required scroll wheel with two very useful Cruise Control buttons above and below it. When scrolling through websites or long documents, after you reach a certain point you have to raise your finger and move it to the top (or bottom) of the wheel to continue scrolling. With these buttons, you simply let your finger slide in the direction it was moving. It will then land on one of these buttons which will continue scrolling in the same direction. After becoming so accustomed to the typical, less effective method of scrolling, switching to Logitech's elaborate approach takes time but once you've tried it, there's no going back. Below that is the application switch which is Logitech's approach to the famous alt-tab method. I've yet to use it (then again, I don't use alt-tab much either). All of the buttons are programmable and you're provided with a sizable list of options. The flipside features a semi-transparent cover over the electronics. The red LED that's used is very large and blindingly bright, so don't stare at it. For gliding, 5 slick feet are used. There's still no reference to teflon on Logitech's website, but the general consensus is that they use it on their mice feet.
